Today I'm going to ask you one question such it need to be answered the next way... 1. describe discipline in one word, 2. explain with an example.

Determination: Discipline is folding an A7 when flop is 10, 7, A, K, 7 and your opponent calls your bet with a perfect poker face...

I did not fold the hand, in fact i raised the bed thinking about i had him surrounded but the surrounded one was me, So... What is discipline for you?

If your opponent had KK, you won the hand... Maybe you mean AA

Or, you mean you had 10 7

Jajaja ok, I was UTG+2 and i had arround 2800 points, we were betting money at home, so i raised 1500 points on chips and he called (he had like 1800 before betting) but he did it once the river appeared and i bet.

Discipline is when you can keep your head firmly on your shoulders and play your A game at all times. The hardest bit of this is knowing when you are playing your A game and the fine line of when you are not and stopping.

Example: You have played 'x' amount of hands but now you are getting tired. Getting away from the tables at the first sign.

so where is discipline? you make raise to almost same size like his bank, do you think someone make call (iis your opp really call this) with 1800 to 1500 bet/ its reraise allin with KK, u make unreasonable raise with A7 in ur position/ imao. still we didnt see all pictures, what is blind level (1800 is how much BB), how much players at the table, what kind of players play against you

Well, playing live man i don't put attention on each potition, i'm watching the eyes and face of my opponents, with weak players i use to be so agresive when the river is in the table and they fold, or calls having nothing. Talking about the potition with better players it is different.

you want to say that someone call 1500 having 1800 bank with KK playing live? 99% sure a lot of players make allin here, what the point to have 300 chips when you lose with premium hands. Lets say you and your opp make allin preflop, your opp in position and you without position - you have no Fulls before river, what did he do with 300 chips, checking to river? oh man thats not the best example for education, thats beginer mistakes

Discipline in one word - Fold. I will make it to the money if I do not risk playing any more hands until the bubble breaks.
I have KK and undisciplined me does an all in even though my chip stack is enough to make it to the money. I get two callers. Both with AQos. Felling smug an Ace won't show. The flop is 8s qd 3s. Oh well as long as the queen or ace do not appear , i triple up my chip stack. Turn card is 4s. Looks like my undisciplined self was worried for no reason. River card As. Crap. I lose to an Ace. But wait. My king can beat a pair of aces if my king is a spade for a flush, but it is not. Both my kings are red. Not only did I lose to both AQ's, but one of the AQ's lost to the other AQ, because the guy had a Qs which made his hand good for the flush. Next time, fold if I have a chance to money, no matter what cards I get. I can always go for victory after nailing down an ITM.
